passing by


    Looks like Sustain11 .. PD106 Sandhaven built 1954 .. 152 Gardner. Could be George Innes in wheelhouse. He had her mid 60s. But what's happened to his after derricks? Maybe a big boulder? He's still fishing .. see his ropes on starboard side .. just started to coil them aboard.
    The one where the photo's taken from is a Sandhaven boat, by the builder's plate. I'd guess Shalimar PD337, with a very young Andrew Strachan with his head out the window. 2 port lights. Can't remember that fashion!
    re. 2 port lights, they were belt and braces guys in them days,,
    mebey just there as backup, or couldn,t get replacement fitting for holding the bulb so replaced with another light, and left the big one so no to spoil the look ...
    doing his bit saving energy, the wee one on in summer and big one on in winter???  lol.
    A few came in the late 70s+ with sidelights where the lifebelts hung .. below the wheelhouse windows.  Scottish Maid, Mystic, Wistaria... Fashion didn't last long.
